Outbox (stealth) hiring LEAD Eng and Product (Austin, TX)
Outbox is hiring. We've just gone through a wild two year run during which we built a product known and loved around the country; CNN, the New York Times, Tech Crunch, Pee Wee Herman, Jay Leno - everyone talked about it. And everyone loved the idea. The underlying economics proved impossible to finance, as we lay out here, a post which itself generated a humbling and encouraging outpouring of support and excitement on what is next for our team. The good news is that we remain well capitalized with several million in cash, a great team, a much slower burn, a healthy 2+ years in front of us, and some of the most famous VC's in our round: Mike Maples (Floodgate), Peter Thiel (Founders Fund), Dave Morin, Naval Ravikant, and more. We're now three months into a the development and launch of a product already generating revenue. It has little to do with mail - but is equally massive and insane. We're searching for a product lead, engineering lead, and junior developer to join us. We can't promise success—but we can promise a 2+ year ride building a nationally known, disruptive product capable of being a billion dollar company.
Who are we? At Outbox, we aim to be a team of active, humble geniuses. This is what we strive for everyday in order to personify everything right and perfect about entrepreneurship. Why do we care about this so much? If a team is humble and smart but lacks action, they fail to create value because they are too busy dreaming. If a team of geniuses excels in action but lacks humility, they'll create a toxic culture of arrogance. A humble team that excels in action makes dumb mistakes and builds the wrong product. Our team needs to be smart enough to have the right strategy (best of the best); humble enough to hear different perspectives (we admit when we are wrong); and have a bias toward action as we build fast and iterate (to create a game-changing product).
We are hiring ASAP - paid well in cash and equity, given lots of cool technology, a nice office (top of McGarrah Jesse building at 5th/Colorado in Austin, TX), downtown parking, and a chance to build something huge that matters.
ENGINEERING LEAD (a senior position, title/comp based on experience)
For you, software is not just a profession, but a hobby as well. You are also interested in all aspects of the system, including the server, web browser, and mobile clients. You thrive when let loose for experimentation and iteration. You have an interest in information architecture. You enjoy (and want to get better at) leading, communicating, and recruiting. You will be joining and leading our eng team, taking responsibility for design and implementation of scalable solutions to integrate with existing back-end and client-side components as well as third-party and internal web APIs. Your solutions will likely involve image analysis as well as 2D graphics operations.
- Minimum of 6 years experience shipping software.
- Proficiency with two or more of the following: server-side, rich HTML/Javascript, mobile applications (iOS, Android), as well as database design.
- Affinity for image analysis and 2D graphics is a plus.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER (a mid/junior level position, title/comp based on experience)
Your hobby is writing code—and/or possibly board games. You dislike giant, clunky systems and want to do the thing you are good at (software) to create something that matters—maybe even brings down one of those big systems. You love to learn and want to work somewhere you not just CAN learn—you HAVE to learn.
- Minimum of 2 years experience shipping software.
- Proficiency with one or more of the following: server-side, rich HTML/Javascript
- Experience with mobile applications (iOS, Android) or database design is a plus.
PRODUCT MANAGER (a senior position, title/comp based on experience)
You've got a passion for product—you use everyone you learn about, you have 200 apps on your iPhone, and you are always thinking about how the experience could be better. You love complex things—and can chart a scheduled, rational course given hundreds of constraints. You have a passion for feedback and help build products in order to test hypotheses. When you get negative feedback from a user—you know it's your problem, not the customer's. You love figuring out the unknown—and aren't afraid of sailing uncharted waters—in a flying boat you have to build by hand.
- Experience and understanding of building and maintaing a product backlog, including picking the right tools for the job.
- Experience with scrum or similar methodology.
- Experience in writing and understanding repeatable test cases.
- Ability to identify feature creep and the need for sprint restart.
- Experience in working with (managing) designers and developers
You will work very closely with several functions to answer some key questions:
- operations: given what we have built (can build) operationally, how must the product work?
- marketing: given what we are learning from customers, how can we redesign parts of the product to acquire more customers and more frequently delight them?
- legal: given our legal and regulatory requirements, how must the product work? (disclosures, terms and conditions, payments, etc.)
- development / design: set appropriate scope and create/manage schedule for new releases, mapping size/scope of new releases onto business objectives
Could this be you? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Outbox is Shutting Down—A Note of Gratitude
Dear loyal customers and Outbox supporters:
We announce today that we are ending the mail service, shutting down the Outbox brand, and focusing our team and resources on a totally new product. In a related post we explain what this means for our current, loyal customers.
This is bittersweet for our team, since we have poured so much into creating our product and serving our customers. Yet this announcement marks the end of a chapter for us—not the end of the story.
Over the past two years, we have been humbled by the support of our investors and customers, who each took a leap of faith to join us in this exceptionally audacious venture. We have also been humbled by the incredible personal and financial sacrifices our team members have made along the way.
The Beginning
We set out to redefine a long cherished but broken medium of communication: postal mail. We did so during a tumultuous period in the history of the United States Postal Service (USPS), which has experienced declining mail volume and staggering deficits for the past five years.
As former staffers on Capitol Hill, we share a passion for tackling huge public problems, but aim to do so with private solutions. We knew that the USPS would not be able to work out its own problems so, perhaps naively, we hoped to partner with USPS to provide an alternative to the physical delivery of postal mail to a subset of users, hoping this would spur further innovation and cost savings.
Although an early test with the USPS that let users redirect their mail to us showed signs of success and operational simplicity, an interview by CNBC triggered a request from the Postmaster General himself to meet in Washington, DC. In one of the most surreal moments of our lives (listen to it in an NPR interview), we had our very own Mr. Smith Goes to Washington encounter where the senior leadership of USPS made it clear that they would never participate in any project that would limit junk mail and that they were immediately shutting down our partnership. This 30-minute meeting was the end of our business model.
The Reimagining of Outbox
After countless hours applying Clay Christensen's business model theories to our situation, we came to view our failed partnership with USPS as a David and Goliath moment: we believed our seeming disadvantage would become our greatest strength. Turning our original vision on its head, we reimagined our service as not merely playing in someone else's value channel, but as a new type of last-mile delivery channel all together: one subsidized by our users in return for collecting and electronically delivering their postal mail. If we could simply break even on the mail business, we would have built a valuable last mile network able to be monetized in many ways.
To pull this off, we built a world-class team of engineers, designers, marketers, and operations specialists in Austin and San Francisco. Funding our efforts were some of the most celebrated investors of our generation: Mike Maples at Floodgate and Peter Thiel and Brian Singerman at Founders Fund, as well as a groundswell of investors via AngelList. Together, we made a product that was as beautiful as it was complex, and overcame nearly every obstacle in our path.
We created our own dynamic logistics software, developed a legal framework to open users' mail, built industrial-grade scanning machines for 1/100th of the market price, developed specialized OCR to allow customers to unsubscribe from postal mail, built and attached to our cars 5-foot mailbox flags that withstand 70 mph highway speeds, laser cut wood blocks to build mail slot solutions, and created a novel system of key decoding via photograph that inspired the creation of one startup all on its own. All this was simply the backend of our service, and our iPhone and other apps won awards for their design and elegance.
In the end, we serviced a little over 2,000 individual customers, had 25,000 people waiting around the country on our waiting list, unsubscribed our customers from over 1 million senders of mail, scanned over 1.5 million pages, and delivered over 250,000 requested mail packages. We also recycled approximately 30 tons of paper, enough to cover 86 football fields.
Outbox was buzzing. It seemed as though everyone knew something about our little company, had seen one of our red-flagged mailbox cars, or had stumbled upon a news story about us. CNN praised us, Jay Leno mocked us, and Pee Wee Herman called us "the future." We tested our anecdotal suspicions with a nationwide survey, and found that Outbox had an unaided brand awareness of 10.1 percent - even though we serviced a mere 2,000 customers in two relatively small markets.
Numbers Don't Lie
After raising $5m in June of last year, we set out to onboard the 4,000 individuals we had amassed on our central-San Francisco waitlist. We projected converting a large percentage of these individuals, and planned to scale our marketing efforts at a projected cost of $20 per acquisition.
However, after an extensive email marketing campaign to our waitlist, total yield from the waitlist was under 10 percent. And as we started marketing outside of this network, we had difficulty finding a repeatable and scalable acquisition channel. Across all of our efforts, our acquisition numbers were over $50 per lead.
As our marketing efforts lagged behind schedule, our density numbers remained consistently flat, causing us to spend about double our projected cost to service each customer. Even our most dense routes cost us approximately 20 percent more than our break-even target.
After several months of testing and refining, we reasonably concluded that we were executing well and collecting good data—it told us that there wasn't enough demand to support the cost model. Our monthly operating deficits were too high, and even though we continued to get better at acquisition, each small success actually saw our cash curve decline further because our density remained flat. For longer than we would be willing to tolerate, we would lose money for each additional customer we gained. Despite the massive interest in our company, we learned that the product we built did not find fit in the market we targeted.
Finding serenity in knowing when to stop
For startups, it's difficult to know when to throw in the towel. Indeed, the main strategy for most of the life of a startup is overcoming impossible odds, and we built a team that did that over and over again.
This final challenge—product market fit—is one we ran after with characteristic zeal. Amidst these struggles we were reminded of the serenity prayer written by one of our favorite authors, Reinhold Niebuhr:
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Facing situation after situation we kept the courage to change them; in these final few months, we were granted the serenity to know this situation is one we cannot change.
Our Unpostmen
Not least of our accomplishments was the recruitment of an amazing operations team. Their tireless work ethic led to such stellar customer service that our users would, on occasion, pee their pants. The hardest reality in our transition is saying goodbye to our eighteen Unpostmen: they have been the frontlines of challenging logistics and extreme customer service. If you are hiring and looking for loyal, hard working operations experts, please email us here.
Our Future
There are numerous small pivots we could make as an alternative to our mail service, and we have tested many other applications that could be layered on top of the logistic network we already created. Yet each of these tangential services has a tragic combination of being costly to pull off and, well, not a big idea.
While it saddens us that we are leaving so much behind in terms of what we built and developed for mail, we are equally excited to begin a new chapter in our company's life. Our team has been working on a new product that has already shown signs of success, and we believe it has the opportunity to be massively disruptive. We can't wait to tell you more about it—but for now we're in stealth mode.
Our many learnings have led us to tackle a problem in many ways similar: a giant, sleepy industry that serves every American, is generally hated, and is in need of radical new solutions that involve hardware, software, and logistics.
Forefront in our minds are the learnings from the wild adventure of Outbox:
- Giant, complex systems appear insurmountable, but aren't—they were built by people just like you and me
- The main asset the government (and big companies) has is time—which is the resource of which startups have the least.
- You may think government organizations are completely, insanely backwards; you are wrong—they are worse.
- If you can't find a hardware solution to your needs, build it—it's not that hard.
- Doing extraordinary things for customers is time consuming and hard—but very worthwhile.
- Life is too short to pursue anything other than what you are most passionate about.
For the last two years, we got out of bed every morning because of the chance to re-imagine a daily activity for every American. We've had many sleepless nights these last few months, but are excited to be turning our complete attention to a new, equally compelling reason to wake up each morning.
With thanks,
Will & Evan, Outbox Cofounders

Introducing Outbox Gifts: Meet NatureBox, Sesame and Quarterly
We're now live in all of SF, and as part of the celebration we're introducing Outbox Gifts.
You guys have been such amazing supporters and evangelists, and now that the entire city can get Outbox, we want to thank and reward those of you that are spreading the word. Refer Outbox to a friend and we'll deliver a special gift straight to your doorstep. On referral numbers three and five you'll receive gifts as well.
We mean it when we say we love creating experiences for our customers that make mail functional, modern and maybe even a bit more fun. And we found a number of other brands out there spreading the mailbox love too right from the heart of SF.
We've teamed up with three Bay Area companies: NatureBox, Sesame, and Quarterly to bring hand-selected gifts straight to your door.
NatureBox is all about healthy snacking. Their monthly subscription service delivers all-natural, healthy snacks—from Cocoa Waffle Wafers to Cherry Crumble Granola, Lemon Tea Biscuits to Plantain Chips.
Sesame is passionate about delivering happiness through experiences. Each Sesame gift set is themed to an experience. Our personal favorite, the Wake Up package includes Philz Coffee, Bari Biscotti, and a Contigo Mug. All the sets are hand picked by experts and delivered in a crisp blue box.
Quarterly wants to recapture the romance and impact of a well-crafted package and tie it into existing online communities in an organic way. Their "quarterly" subscription service enables people to receive physical items in the mail from influential contributors of their choice. Our favorite is curated by the folks at Cool Hunting.
Referring a friend is easy. You'll find the referral page on iOS apps and the web app, and can share your unique URL via Facebook, Twitter, and email. When a friend signs up, we'll email you with your gift notifications.
We quietly launched Outbox Gifts last week and feedback has been great. Please keep it coming. We appreciate you helping us introduce Outbox to SF and beyond. We mean it when we say we wouldn't be here without you, and we genuinely want to know how you think the Outbox experience can continue to grow and improve.
An Open Letter to San Francisco, Part II
San Francisco,
It's us again. Thank you so much for your patience, your continued feedback, your enthusiastic support.
Today, we're opening up our doors all the way. If you live in the city of San Francisco, you can sign up for Outbox right now and begin receiving your postal mail on your iPad, iPhone, Android or the Web within days.
Six months ago you welcomed us with open arms, many of you joining our private beta and helping us learn what it was going to take to bring Outbox to your city and beyond. Many, many more of you waited patiently as we set up residency, grew our team, perfected our operations, and even learned from a few mistakes here and there.
If you aren't familiar with us, Outbox is a beautiful inbox for your postal mail. It's OK if you have questions or aren't sure yet. We're here to here to answer them, and we know we have to earn your trust.
We'd love for you to give it a spin. The first month is on us: https://www.outboxmail.com/.
We came to San Francisco, humbly, six months ago to learn. The response was amazing, and we quickly hit our goal number of beta users. We've been busy in the meantime. We announced our Series A round of financing, expanded our SF team and operations base, launched on Android and updated our iPad app to bring ubiquitous access on all devices and the Web.
We knew that if we continued to build and learn from the most demanding and savvy users, we would be ready to take Outbox to the rest of the country. We would not be here without you.
Since we launched Outbox in Austin, Texas, in 2011, over 300,000 pieces of mail have been delivered digitally to iPhones, iPads, Android devices and Web dashboards. That's almost 1M mail images and over seven football fields of paper. One of our favorite things to share is that we've unsubscribed users from over 60,000 pieces of mail.
We still have a long way to go, but right now we're saying thank you to our loyal users and welcome to many new ones! Thank you for your kind words, your honest suggestions, your support, your tweets, your feedback, even your gentle breakup letter. If you've had a great Outbox experience, please share the love. And if you're new, we can't wait to hear what you think.
Still want to know more? Read a bit more about Outbox here, learn more about our personal backgrounds and how we ended up on this crazy ride here, get an inside look at what it's like to be an unpostman here, and enjoy some of our favorite Outbox stories here.
There's lots more to come in the next month, so stay tuned. Thank you again. Keep the comments coming. Tweet at us, Facebook us, or email us at email@example.com.
Will, Evan, Jason & The Outbox Team
Bear hugs all around
It is with great humility and excitement that we announce we have completed our Series A round of financing totalling $5 million from an amazing group of investors, sage advisors, trusted friends, and a wonderful network of believers and supporters.
When we first came to San Francisco three months ago the response was nothing short of breathtaking. We now get to go to work inviting and on-boarding the entire San Francisco waitlist, expanding our team (we're hiring!), and hopefully very soon bringing our love for mail to every address in San Francisco.
It wouldn't be possible without great people like Mike Maples at Floodgate. We're honored to have them lead our round. Peter Thiel and Brian Singerman at Founders Fund are trusted advisors and friends, and we're couldn't be more gracious to have them onboard. Correlation VC, TDF Ventures, WTI, Expansion VC, Joel Peterson Capital, and Emerge DE also all substantially invested in our dream and future. Thank you.
Building a support group around Outbox has been essential to our growth. For some, it's a crazy idea that doesn't fully make sense until experienced first hand. For others, checking mail is now a giddy part of the day. People make Outbox possible. So it was a no-brainer when we turned to AngelList to join our journey. At the end of the day, over 80 AngelList-ers invested in our future, many of them Outbox users themselves. Working with Naval and the team and being a part of Invest Online was an honor.
From San Francisco, to London, to New York, Austin, Dubai, Paris, Washington DC, Chicago, Massachusetts, and the Netherlands — thank you, thank you, thank you. We're coming. Hang tight.
Last week we released our shiny new Android app — one step closer to helping you take your mailbox with you anywhere you go. And today, over 150,000 pieces of mail have been digitally delivered to Bay Area super moms, digerati elites, Giants fans, and probably your neighbor down the street.
It's been an exhilarating experience. Thanks for following us, telling your friends, and for joining the ride. Outbox has the best supporters in the world. Bear hugs all around.
Stay tuned. Big things are ahead…
Evan and Will, and the entire Outbox team

The Outbox Android Team
At Outbox, we care about the impact we're making on the environment as a whole, in the communities we serve, and in the neighborhoods where we dwell. As Daly City resident and Outbox unpostman Francis Sanchez explains below, Outbox is showing up where it matters: pee-wee t-ball.
On Sunday, May 19, the Daly City Giants celebrated the end of a great season with a winning record of FUN-0. The Giants, a team of 5 and 6 year old boys and girls, participate in the Daly City Park and Recreations Tee ball league. Coached by Paul Tiletile, SOMA and Haight's 'unpostman', the Giants played a magnificent season full of growth, learning, and fun through the game of baseball.
"You can see their skills improving game by game. They're getting really good. My son is always so excited about the practices and games," exclaimed a proud Giants parent.
The young athletes played in 10 games, culminating with an achievement ceremony and celebration sponsored by Outbox. Families celebrated the season with a fun-filled picnic in the park with food, games, team building, and talks of moving the young team up to the next level together. Activities included a fierce but friendly kickball game between the little Giants and their parents who sported Outbox T-shirts as uniforms. The Giants suffered their first loss of the season against the parents who showed no mercy. Ironically, the Giants ended the game with smiles while their parents stumbled to the nearest seat to rest their sore feet.
The kids and the adults were excited to see the Outbox car and explore the giant red flag poking out from the top. All of the kids wanted a turn in the driver's seat while Coach Paul explained the Outbox service to curious parents. The kids all wanted their picture taken "driving" the car, happily swapping out their Giants cap for an Outbox one.
Given this success, the latest plan is to challenge the Austin unpostmen to a t-ball game. At this point it is unclear who will have home court advantage.
—Francis Sanchez, Outbox Unpostman
Best customer breakup email ever
We've been extremely lucky to have less than 3% churn among our beta customers - people really seem to love the service! However, occasionally our service just isn't a fit for someone - and, hey, that's cool. Take a look at the following letter from a customer leaving Outbox. As it turns out, breaking up is as hard for them as it is for us.
Hi, Outbox.
Unfortunately, the trouble is I am just not fulfilling my end of things. I just don't get any mail. No one writes to me, not even my bill collectors. It's not anyone's fault, we're just trying to make something work which wasn't meant to be.
I know its hard, and try to understand this isn't easy for me. I would hate to lose you too. It's been great, seeing your cute little mailcar scooting down my street, waving to you and seeing you smile. You're adorable, always know that. I will always have the fondest memories and will always speak highly of you. And if you ever needed anything you can always let me know. I'm your friend, and always will be.
I'm keeping the t-shirts you gave me. They still smell like you and remind me of the happy times we shared.
Keep in touch, I look forward to a day in the future when we may cross paths again :)
Yours, [Redacted]
A Day in the Life: Meet Francis, the First San Francisco Unpostman
You may have seen them running around Austin or SF, sporting that red polo and cap and driving a white Prius with a giant mailbox flag on it. We would be lost and hopeless without our unpostmen.
We chatted with Outbox's first San Francisco-based unpostman, Francis Sanchez, and got the inside scoop on what fuels him (Fruit Loops!) and how his Pandora drive-time listening helps him maintain focus.
After reading his account, we think you'll agree he's our very own St. Francis, patron of digitized snail mail.
Have you ever been recognized as an Outbox unpostman while out and about?
Yes! It was after the Channel 7 News feature. An employee at a UPS store recognized me and said he'd seen me on TV.
Can you describe your morning routine?
I wake up at 6am. As a family man, my morning routine revolves around my two kids, getting them ready for school and off to the babysitter. I've usually got a bowl of cereal in my hand (whatever my son picks, lately Fruit Loops). I'm always in motion, walking—never sitting.
We're out the door at 7 am. The first stop is my son's school, then it's off to the babysitter with my baby girl. Afterwards, I jump on my bike and commute five miles from Outer Mission to the office. It's actually relaxing.
What activities take place before you and the other unpostmen head out for the day?
Lots of activities! We follow a checklist to stay organized. First up is pulling requested mail. Next, we decode and cut keys. Then we route the keys, making sure the new keys are placed onto the correct key rings, corresponding with the proper route. Lastly, we print the manifest, our roadmap for the day, and grab our iPhones with our routes loaded.
What's the drive around town like? How many stops do you make?
We service hundreds of customers a day and each Unpostman spends 6.5 to 7 hours driving. I prefer Pandora to the radio, and I've got to change up my stations every day. Sometimes it's old school R&B, other days hiphop. Lunch is in the car between stops—sandwich, burrito—whatever is portable!
Can you share a funny anecdote from your route?
On Folsom, I was near the end of my route and heading back to the office. The road is five lanes all going one direction, and I was in a middle lane at a stop sign. A woman ran across the street in front of the car, then circled back. She stopped in front of the car and then snapped a pic of the car and me. I got out, grabbed a couple of shirts from the trunk, and tossed them her way, all before the light turned green.
Do customers ever pop out to say hello while you're delivering?
While making a requested mail delivery, a customer opened his front door and said, "Thanks! I love Outbox. I'm always traveling, and this is perfect. Love this. Thanks, guys!"
Any wacky comments from passersby?
During one of my stops, I usually wind up parked directly in front of a school. I've caught the kids laughing and pointing at the car saying, "The mailbox car is back!"
What can you tell us about your time before Outbox?
My background pre-Outbox was in education. I was a site coordinator for an elementary school where I managed a Linked Day staff. The skills I developed there—being personable, able to talk to anyone, respecting others' thoughts, making people happy, helping out with problems—are very relevant to my job at Outbox. We're teaching here, too—changing what customers are doing with their mail and their mail habits!
San Francisco, keep an eye out for Francis and be sure to say hello!

Come to find out, a heart beats somewhere inside those plush NFL offices in Manhattan.
Maybe they aren't, as we thought, too big to care. Or so big they would react only on their terms. Somewhere, somehow, blood had to run in the roomful of corporate robots.
Don't misunderstand. This is not to suggest that Commissioner Roger Goodell and his band of merry lawyers, upon watching the Seattle Seahawks be awarded the second immaculate reception in the league's history, gathered in a quiet room Wednesday to discuss the need to immediately right the wrongs.

Do not conjure up images of wealthy men in Armani suits, wiping away tears as they analyze how unfairly the fans were treated with this incorrect result. Or even how this had besmirched the very image of Vince Lombardi. Nobody was wailing that Titletown didn't deserve this.
This was business, not emotion. This was about getting off the front page, and back onto the sports pages, where the faithful followers can be brought back into line quickly and beer sales stay good. The longer your missteps and greed are at noise levels above the cheering for touchdowns and pass completions, the more quickly the image you seek of high-class, fan-friendly entertainment gets pushed aside for the reality that you are, first and foremost, the greediest kind of corporate America.
The game is a nice front.
The NFL needs its customers to think that it thinks of them that way, that they are customers. That it serves them. That its decision-making always factors them in. The NFL needs to make sure its customers never even ponder for one moment what they really are. ATM machines.
Certainly, this is no different than banks or cable TV companies or auto manufacturers. All are wired to make you think they are in business to provide you with a service and that any profit resulting from that was sort of a lucky coincidence. The only difference between the NFL and these other businesses is that the NFL is the best at it.
The beating hearts in those meeting rooms were coming from those with a sense for public relations. That certainly would have included Goodell, who didn't get to where he has gotten without being the smartest guy in the room. There certainly had to be some who wanted to remain tough, to be robots in the stance, to let the regular refs pound sand for a couple more weeks. But hearts beat for many reasons, and in this case, it was simple PR.
It had been well pointed out in the media that the NFL was losing nothing in the way of customers and fan base with this momentary kerfuffle. In fact, several columnists pointed out, and correctly so, that these blundering replacement refs just spiced up the action. It's the old everybody-wants-to-watch-a-train-wreck theory.
The NFL fears only two things: decreasing revenue and a bad image.
Because revenue will never be a problem, image was the one Achilles' heel that had to bring this situation to a head. Had not the in-over-their-heads replacement officials done their dumb thing at the end of a game that stole a victory from one of the storied franchises of the league, the regular officials might be sitting for another couple of weeks. They were to be taught a lesson, spanked good and hard so they wouldn't forget, before being allowed to come back outside and play.
But national embarrassment is clearly not part of the image tolerated by the Armani suits.
And the NFL replacement guys dropped the ball in the wrong game, to the wrong team. The Packers aren't a football team in Green Bay or Wisconsin — they are a deity, a way of life.
Somewhere up there, Lombardi was watching this all and smiling his gap-toothed smile, knowing that the big guys in the league had just messed with the wrong green and gold.
A group of Packers fans actually marched to the NFL offices in New York on Tuesday to indicate their indignation. A TV station spoofed the replacement officials with a replacement weatherman, who predicted the temperatures would soar into the high 300s.
Silly stuff, but embarrassing for NFL big shots, who like to think that only other people get dust on the bottom of their shoes when they walk on the sidewalk.
Give Goodell credit. He has one of the best, and hardest jobs in the world. He also responds.
The New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal needed a tough response, even if it turns out he overreacted. The Seahawks-Packers debacle needed an embarrassment-cooling response, and that's what we got.
So, the results are in, and they are full of pluses.
ESPN will now have to stop showing replays of the flash-point play every 36 seconds.
The Patriots' Bill Belichick, having admitted his wrongdoing, will not grab another referee in confrontation for at least seven or eight games.
And we the fan, the TV viewer, can feel good that the NFL, when push came to shove, fixed this because it was responding to us, its customers.
Hold the back of your hand over your mouth as you giggle.

Today in History – December 7, 1988 - 6.9 earthquake destroys Armenia, Spitak and kills over 60,000. It is reported that the entire population of Spitak died in this devastating earthquake, making it one of the most deadly earthquakes in human history. Partial blame was placed on the substandard infrastructure in Soviet-era buildings. The Soviet response was to outlaw construction of any buildings higher than five stories in the area, but little was done in terms improving construction standards or retrofitting existing buildings in the area. According to the World Global Seismic Hazard Map (left image) organized by the United Nations, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, Turkey and Georgia are situated in one of the most seismically active zones in the world. In August 199, Istanbul was hit by an earthquake of 7.4 magnitude, killing over 17,000 and injuring approximately 250,000. In December 2003, a 6.6 magnitude earthquake hit Bam, Iran with an estimated death tally of near 50,000. More recently an earthquake on October 2005, the Kashmir region in Pakistan and India lost over 75,00 lives and displaced millions. Historical records suggest the deadliest earthquake in history killed approximately 1.1 million people in Egypt and Syria. Alas, a comprehensive strategy for urban planning is still lacking in much of these area, according to Architect Pirouz Khanlou.
Observe from the worldwide earthquake hazard map (second from left, above) that the entire west coast of the Americas and areas of China and Japan are also in the "red hot zone" for earthquakes on the planet. It is estimated that in 1556 a quake hit the Chinese province of Shansi, killing over 830,000 people. More recently in 1976, a deadly earthquake of a magnitude 8.0 hit Tianjin, China. The official casualty figure issued by the Chinese government was 255,000 people.
Sometimes the deaths are due to the immediate earthquake movement, but to the secondary forces unleashed, such as mudslides, avalanches or tsunamis. For example, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake at Mount Huascaran, Peru, on May 21, 1970, caused a rock and snow avalanche that buried 2 towns, killing as many as 20,000 people. Fortunately, these disasters are not daily events. But this does lull us into a false sense of security. How many of us living in earthquake zones are adequately prepared? Have we retrofitted our homes up to the latest building code standards? Do we have a home emergency plan? Professionally, engineers play a major role in better understanding the prediction and impact of earthquakes, as well as developing safety standards, building guidelines, inspection technologies and urban plans for emergency response.

Also today in 1972, the first color photograph of Earth was captured (left photo above). I recall when these "blue marble" photos from Apollo 17 were made public. I was struck by the interconnectedness for all beings and countries on our planet. It was the first time that the south polar ice cap was made visible from space. Today these photos from space are being used for commercial applications, such as Google Earth, as well as for monitoring global warming and environmental concerns. Coincidentally, also launched today was the new map of the Antarctica from the LIMA (Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica) initiative in support of International Polar Year. For more information, see the Engineering Pathway's resources on earth photos, Landsat,Antarctica and global warming.

Also on this day in 1926, the gas refrigerator was patented. Browse are related resources on refrigerators and industrial design.

yuck is a command line option parser for C that works on a minimal set of dependencies - only a C compiler and the m4 macro processor are required. It supports all the standard use cases: GNU-style long options (--option), condensable short options (-xab for -x -a -b), and optional arguments to long and short options (--foo[=BAR]), multiple occurrence of options (-vvv). Most importantly, it does not depend on libc's getopt() nor getopt_long().
OpenADK is a construction kit for embedded Linux. It creates Linux systems that are optimized for size and short bootup times. The toolchain supports many architectures (arm, m68k, mips, microblaze, ppc, sparc, superh, x86, and x86_64). It can build customized images for Qemu. Raspberry PI, Lemote Yeelong, and Sharp Zaurus devices are supported as a proof of concept. Approximately 685 source packages are available.
MW is a low footprint embedded UI framework core intended for use on very limited systems. It embeds the JPEG, Freetype, and Cairo libraries, so it only depends on X. It should be fairly portable, as the only thing you need is to create a window on every platform and manage the events.
Gpart is a small tool which tries to guess which partitions are on a PC harddisk in case the primary partition table was damaged. It works by scanning through the device (or file) given on the commandline on a sector basis. Each guessing module is asked if it thinks a filesystem it knows about could start at a given sector. Several filesystem guessing modules are built in, and others can be added dynamically.

Important guests arriving before 10am or after 11pm must email a time of arrival, nightshirt staff have many duties and need to be aware of check in detail

Each review submitted enters you into a $100 gift card monthly drawing, and a $500 gift card quarterly drawing!
Comments On Feb 22, 2013:This is actually a pretty good pack, especially for the price. I've had mine for about 4 years now. It's been rained on, rolled on (rolled atv), full of dirt, dust, etc. The zippers are the big thick ones, so they are strong and won't break on you. The pad has kept its shape and not deteriorated, despite getting soaked in the rain multiple times. I have the camo pattern which has not faded either. The compartments hold a decent amount of stuff, too. 100' of big rope, small air compressor, tools, water bottles, etc. In general, I like ATV Logic products and this is a good one. If you want something that looks fancy like it's from North Face, you'll need to get a much more expensive one. This one does what it's designed to do.

If you haven't already heard, The BC Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced a trade today. The Lions sent RB Joe Smith to the Blue Bombers for RB Charles Roberts.
Roberts is the Bombers' all-time leading rusher, but is in the midst of his worst season to date. He has 462 yards on 93 carries and the Bombers are 2-7. Smith hasn't been any better, he has 236 rushing yards on 55 carries and had been benched in favor of rookie Stefan Logan. Last season, these were the two best RBs in the CFL. Smith lead the way with 1510 yards and 18 TDs while Roberts had 1379 yards and 16 TDs.
Smith is in his 3rd year in the CFL while Roberts is in his 8th. However they are both 29 years old. Roberts is one of the best RBs in CFL history, he currently has 9470 yards on 1742 carries and 60 TDs.
As someone who is a lifelong Bomber fan, I hate this trade. Roberts has done nothing but good things on the field with the Bombers and the fact that they were so willing to trade him just because he was in a slump disgusts me. The one game where he got substantial carries, he got over 100 yards and the Bombers won. The entire offense has been terrible, not just him. And he is our all-time leading rusher and now he's going to get 10000 career yards with another team.
I hope the Bombers turn around their season and Smith brings them back to life, but the next time the Bombers play the Lions, I'm cheering for Charles Roberts.

OAK PARK, Ill. —Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, but Frank Lloyd Wright lives here.
Wright died in 1959, two years before Hemingway, but the famous architect's legacy is so strong in this village west of Chicago that he seems to be part of the present. Home to more than two dozen Wright structures, including a church, two stables and a fountain, Oak Park boasts the largest collection of Wright-designed sites in the world. Wright lived in Oak Park for the first 20 years of his career, between 1889 and 1909, developing Prairie style architecture in a studio there. In contrast, Hemingway couldn't wait to leave, reportedly disparaging it as a place of "wide lawns and narrow minds." (The future novelist left at age 18 to become a reporter for the Kansas City Star.)
Some 80,000 people tour Wright's Oak Park home and studio each year, but visitors can also get a sense of Wright's impact just by strolling up and down the streets. In addition to the homes he built, his designs are incorporated into everything from windows to mailboxes to lamps at scores of houses the architect had nothing to do with. This village of 52,000 is a living testament to his influence.
That's part of why visiting Wright's home and studio is such a treat: A chance to see where the person responsible for it all lived, worked and created. "This is like a creative lab," said Tim Samuelson, Chicago's cultural historian and a member of the advisory board of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.
As guides lead visitors through the house, often past furniture that Wright built, they explain Wright's use of space: how he not only controlled room size, which every architect does, but also influenced how big or small the rooms felt to people inside them.
For example, the drafting room looks even bigger than it is, a guide explains, because of a small passageway that opens up into the room, creating a bit of an illusion about the size.
Then there's Wright's attention to what occupies all that space: Light.
"Whenever he got a job he'd look at the site and see how the light fell" at different times of day, said Samuelson. Samuelson said he almost hates to take a picture in a Wright home because he knows the photograph will not do justice to how different the home looks from season to season and even from hour to hour.
And while Wright didn't spend a lot of time consulting clients, he did have a sense of what they would like.
"He had happy first clients, the houses fit them like a glove," said Samuelson. Of course, someone as eccentric as Wright, who famously strode about with a cape over his shoulders and a cane in his hand, tended to attract clients who appreciated Wright's sensibilities.
Wright also understood in the early years of the 20th century that the automobile wasn't a passing fad and that he'd better design his houses to cope with shining headlights and noisy engines.
Listen, the tour guide says, pointing to one of Oak Park's busiest streets, just outside Wright's window. The columns outside are not just decorative; they absorb noise, rendering near-silence.
But what really makes a tour of Wright's home and community fun — especially for those who don't know much about architecture — is that it brings a man who has been dead for more than a half century back to life as a neighbor, businessman, father and husband, without whitewashing his flaws.
For example, he liked the finer things in life but often strung merchants along when they came after him for payment. And when he moved to Oak Park, he borrowed money to buy a house from his boss at the time, famed architect Louis Sullivan. Sullivan lent him the money on condition that he not do any side jobs. Wright agreed but secretly "bootlegged" houses around town.
At the same time, Wright was kind. He supported Sullivan for well over a decade when the older man fell on hard times late in life, the guide said.

Your monthly offseason update on Villanova's 2016 recruiting effort.
I was able to attended the Donofrio Classic last night in Conshohocken at the Fellowship House and saw some great talent on display, including some 'Nova commitments and potential targets. Here is...
Wait, you thought you wouldn't get another #BlackShoePodcast until next season? James Franklin has given all Nittany Lion fans plenty of recruiting news to discuss, so that's what we're doing today!
Point Guard 6'1" 170 lbs. Seminole State College (Juco) DeSoto, Texas
It may not have been the type of game everyone wanted, but the stars still shined.
The 2013-14 season is not quite finished, but it's never too early to look ahead to the future.
While this year isn't done, we can still take a peek at who might make a big impact next year.
Virginia Commonwealth scored a top spot in recruiting class rankings thanks to its ability to secure commitments from three rising stars who will make an impact in 2014. BYU and Gonzaga also continue to make waves out West with their incoming talent.
How the Crimson Tide's recruiting might be hurting other schools
And that's very good thing, because they fit the profile of Jay Wright's preferred basketball player.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Greenfield Assessment Reduced - WE DID IT!
Several blogs back, I ranted about the high assessment we received in May of 2009 on our condo located in Greenfield. After three attempts to get the assessment lowered, we FINALLY were notifed last week that our assessment was dropped by approximately $28K! How did we do it? We were diligent. I kept printouts of the one condo unit that sold in 2009 and the same for condos that have been up for sale for a year or more and the low, low prices that are being asked due to the economic downturn. I sent these printouts along with several newspaper articles about home/condo values to the Assessor's office by a specified deadline. We are still assessed a bit high but we are grateful just the same. It is a nice feeling that we were heard by someone. All of our hard work paid off for those other condo owners in our complex who did not attempt to lower their assessments. They also got their assessments lowered like we did. Some people just go with the flow and don't "protest" when something is definitely wrong. I can honestly say, that's a niche I will never crawl into! Unfortunately, many units are much more updated and fancied up compared to our unit and yet we all pay the same taxes based upon the same assessments. That's just wrong but life isn't fair and we just have to deal with the wrongs and move on.
Remember! Vote for the people you feel that will help our city of Greenfield and our state move forward with jobs, new companies, lower taxes and for those who have a genuine interest in making our cities and state the right place to stay, raise a family and retire in.
Will You Stay In Wisconsin When You Retire?
Although my husband and I have about 11 or 12 years to work before we retire (unless we are fortunate enough to retire earlier), we have several friends and relatives who have retired and/or plan to retire in the near future. Several have moved out of Wisconsin, several are considering it and one has moved out of Wisconsin and returned after being gone about 8 years. I would like some feedback on why you will be moving out of Wisconsin and also if you are going to stay in Wisconsin or have.

124cc, 9.7bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The LSM125 is perfectly capable 125cc supermoto, fine for a couple of years use before moving on to a bigger bike.It does everything as you'd expect, it's just not a very memorable bike.
124cc, 9.7bhp, 56mph, Insurance group
Not a bad sporty 125 that does everything you could want a 125 to do with litte hassle. Cheap price means these are a very tempting choice over more expensive, but better Japanese machines like the Honda CBR125. f you're not bothered about the name on the tank, the Lexmoto is a good choice.
124cc, 11bhp, 78mph, Insurance group
The Taiwanese-built WK 125R is an entry-level 125cc motorcycle for British riders on a budget. Imported by the same team behind Quadzilla Quads, it's a cheap, cheerful and functional alternative to more expensive European or Japanese learner machines. It's a little basic, quite heavily outmoded and unlikely to last a lifetime, but it's also fairly cool, fun to ride and ...
125cc, 10bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The supermoto version of a rubbish bike, the D-Tracker 125 is based on the titchy KLX125 trail-style learner machine. Not a great start in life – the D-Tracker's supermoto-style road wheels and tyres are a minor improvement, but there's nothing to recommend it unless you're exceptionally short.
Rarely do mainstream manufacturers build a bike that doesn't have at least one reason to buy it – but Kawasaki have pulled it off with the KLX125. It isn't a dangerous bike, and it does perform a basic function as a commuter motorcycle, but there are plenty of other bikes that are considerably better than the KLX125.
124cc, 11bhp, 58mph, Insurance group 3
Funky half-BMX, half-moped looks good and promises much as a cool urban tool for 16/17-year-olds. Shame it's let down by disappointly feeble performance, iffy Chinese build quality and plasticine componentry.
125cc, 14bhp, 81mph, Insurance group 7
Simply put the Aprilia Tuono 125 is an Aprilia RS125 with nose fairing and flat bars. Which is why it'll suit taller 17-year-olds much better than its racier sibling. It loses nothing in handling terms, with excellent brakes and packs stunning looks into what's already a very tempting package. And once de-restricted it's a flyer.

Boston >Bars & Clubs > Jacques Cabaret
79 Broadway, Boston, MA | Directions 0211642.349937 -71.067373
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central, Bay Village
...the REAL reason to visit Boston ! – ...Jacques is NOT closed (never was!)...
Jacques remains the REAL; moreover, BEST reason to visit Boston. Jacques still transitions from a quaint neighborhood taproom to a quirky, riotous venue for over-the-top party fun. Plan ahead and call early for your party reservations. Knock-your-socks-off shows begin around 10 PM, seven nights a week.
...See the Parade; celebrate your PRIDE Saturday, June 8th and rub elbows and whatnots with kindred spirits at Jacques. Extended hours all Pride Weekend.
...See you there...
Fun, Fun, FUN! – This place is SO fun to go to. I went to see a friend perform in a drag show. All the performers came up to the audience and involved us. The songs were fun. It was just a great experience. It's nice to go check out when you're not doing anything special.
Awesome Night – I went to the 8:00 show to start out the night for a bachelorette party and what a way to get the night going!!!! We had so much fun and the whole place was having a blast. I highly recommend going here for a fun and memorable night out and I will definitely return. Its a good idea to call ahead and reserve a table.
This place is the best – The best around I meet my love there and we have been together for 3yrs and she is lookin more like a women every day thanks
Drag, Trans, GLBT, All Welcome All The Time! Dragtastic night out! – This place if definitely not your Las Vegas type of drag show/lounge. It's been around for ages, it's a classic dive bar and sometimes just plain ole tacky night out. But, it's FUNNNN! The place gets all kinds of people from the usual gay boys and drag queens to weekend bachelorette parties. You'll also see the weekend "T" friendly types there too. It's such a fun mix of everything you really can't have a bad time here. Bring your cash even though there is an ATM, get some cheap but good drinks and watch the show on stage AND in the crowd!
Boston's only place where one can see rock and rollers rubbing shoulders with drag queens. – In Short
Jacques sports a bright red, tacky-yet-elegant ambience and a melting-pot quality that's rare in local gay clubs. Drag queens were the club's usual clientele for decades when the club was home to a truly underground scene--Jacques' owner once boasted that he was the first Boston promoter to book the notorious cross-dressing disco group the Village People. Live rock bands play Friday and Saturday nights, while most other nights feature colorful female impersonators.

The Lights are Out in Washington
I was late with my column this morning. It was the first time that I missed a deadline since I started college. This made me angry, not just because I hated to see a 34-year-streak end, but more importantly because of the reason I was late. Sunday afternoon a storm ...
